PREFATORY  NOTE 

Cataloguers  of  periodicals  have  felt  the  necessity  of  decisions  on  points 
of  form  and  order  in  details  of  entry  not  specified  in  the  code  of  catalogue 
rules,  or  not  stated  with  sufficient  precision.  They  are  essential  to  secure 
a  degree  of  uniformity  in  the  application  of  the  rules  where  a  large  collec- 
tion of  great  variety  is  being  catalogued.  The  following  statement,  cover- 
ing the  practice  in  the  Library  of  Congress,  is  intended  for  the  guidance 
of  cataloguers  without  intrenching  on  the  exercise  of  good  judgment  on 
their  part  in  dealing  with  exceptional  cases  on  their  merits.  It  is  printed 
to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  library  service,  and  to  facilitate  the  answer- 
ing of  numerous  requests  for  information  from  other  quarters.

1.  GENERAL  RULE 

Enter  a  periodical  under  its  latest  title,  capitalizing  both  the 
initial  article,  when  there  is  one,  and  the  word  following.  Give 
in  the  form  of  notes :  frequency  of  publication ;  important  varia- 
tions of  title;  successive  editors;  important  changes  of  place  of 
publication  and  of  publisher;  also  indexes,  supplements,  etc., 
unless  entered  separately  {see  under  headings  Indexes  and  Sup- 
plements) Make  added  entries  for  editors,  compilers  of  indexes, 
important  earlier  titles,  etc. 

A  periodical  entry  ordinarily  includes  all  volumes  published 
with  continuous  volume  numbering  (in  one  or  more  series),  even 
though  the  title  may  vary.  A  publication  which  does  not  continue 
the  volume  numbering  of  an  earlier  publication  is  considered  a 
new  periodical,  and  should  have  separate  entry.  If  the  new  peri- 
odical succeeds  or  supersedes  the  former,  the  connection  should 
be  noted  on  each  entry. 

2.  TITLE 

The  title  of  a  periodical  is  frequently  given  in  different  forms 
on  title-page,  covers,  captions,  etc.  The  form  used  on  the  title- 
page  should  ordinarily  be  given  preference  in  entry,  and  refer- 
ences made,  when  necessary,  from  other  forms.  When  the  covers, 
etc.,  have  fuller  title  than  the  title-page,  it  is  sometimes  desir- 
able to  use  the  fuller  title,  enclosing  the  additional  matter  in 
brackets,  e.  g. 

The  Portrait  magazine  [containing  sketches  of  prominent  per- 
sons of  the  present  time] 

If  the  publication  has  no  title-pages,  take  title  from  covers, 
captions  or  editorial  pages.  The  cover-title  is  to  be  preferred, 
unless  the  caption  title  is  especially  distinctive,  or  is  the  title  best 
known  and  under  which  the  periodical  is  generally  quoted  in  ref- 
erence books  and  other  literature  on  the  subject. 

The  statement  of  editors,  etc.,  may  be  included  in  title  if  the 
periodical  has  ceased  publication,  and  the  same  editors  have  con- 
tinued throughout,  e.  g. 

The  Mining  gazette,  e<t  by  Alvin  Stevens  and  William  Estes. 
The  Kindergarten  review;  organ  of  the  Boston  kindergarten 
association.    Mary  R.  Haviland,  editor. 

When  one  periodical  absorbs  another,  and  incorporates  its  title 
with  its  own,  the  incorporated  title  should  not  be  capitalized,  e.  g. 

Illinois  mining  gazette  and  railway  age   (not  Illinois  mining 
gazette  and  Railway  age) 

The  title  of  a  periodical  is  printed  with  hanging  indention,  and 
should  be  entered  on  card  with  the  first  word  beginning  a  little 
to  the  left  of  first  vertical  line. 


6 .  GUIDE    TO    CATALOGUING    PERIODICALS 

When  quoting  in  a  note  an  English  title,  capitalize  the  word 
-following  the  initial  article,  e.  g. 

Absorbed  the  Educational  review. 
Merged  into  the  Belgian  hare  news. 

When  quoting  a  title  in  a  foreign  language,  capitalize  both  the 
article  and  the  word  following,  e.  g. 

Absorbed  L'Armenie. 
Merged  into  Der  Alte  orient. 

3.  TITLES  BEGINNING  WITH   INITIALS   OR   FORENAMES 

When  the  title  of  a  periodical  begins  with  initials  of  name  of 
editor  or  publisher,  it  is  ordinarily  better  to  disregard  initials  in 
entry,  e.  g.  S.  S.  Stewarts  banjo  and  guitar  journal  should  be 
entered  under  title  . . .  Stewarts  banjo  and  guitar  journal,  with 
reference  from  S.  S.  Stewarts  banjo  and  guitar  journal.  Simi- 
larly, Dr.  A.  Petermanns  mitteilungen,  L.  B.  Case's  botanical  in- 
dex, J.  W.  Pepper  piano  music  magazine  should  have  entry  under 
titles  . . .  Petermanns  mitteilungen,  . . .  Case's  botanical  index,  and 
. . .  Pepper  piano  music  magazine,  respectively. 

When  the  title  begins  with  a  forename,  entry  should  usually  be 
made  under  forename,  c.  g. 

Frank  Leslie's  boys'  and  girls'  weekly. 
Frank  Leslie's  popular  monthly. 
Joe  Chappie's  national  news-letter. 

Make  cross  references  from  other  forms  of  name,  when  necessary. 

4.  STATEMENT  OF  VOLUMES 

The  statement  of  volumes  and  dates  follows  title  of  periodical 
on  catalogue  card.  Use  arabic  numerals,  and  vernacular  form  for 
volumes,  months,  etc.,  e.  g. 

1.-3.  annee;  Jan.  1881-oct.  1883. 
1.-2.  jahrg.;  2  juli  1904-25  marz  1905. 

The  volume  numbers  and  dates  are  separated  by  a  semicolon 
when  there  is  but  one  series.  If  there  are  two  or  more  series,  use 
commas  between  volumes  and  dates,  and  semicolons  between  the 
series,  e.  g. 

v.  1-4;  Jan.  5,  1899-Aug.  7,  1900. 
v.  1-6  (no.  1-24) ;  Jan.  1881-Oct.  1896. 
v.  1-16,  v.  17,  no.  1-2 ;  Jan.  1891-Feb.  1907. 
v.  1-26,  Jan.  1821-Oct.  1848 ;  2d  ser.,  v.  1-6,  Jan.  1849-Oct.  1854. 
v.  1-20,  May  1875-Apr.  1894;  v.  21-30  (new  ser.,  v.  1-10),  May 
1895-Apr.  1904. 

The  volume  numbers  and  dates  are  not  enclosed  in  brackets 
when  easily  ascertainable  from  covers  of  individual  numbers, 
captions,  etc.,  even  though  they  do  not  appear  on  title-pages. 
When  dates  on  covers,  etc.,  differ  from  those  given  on  title- 
page,  prefer  the  cover  dates,  unless  clearly  wrong,  and  make 
note  of  discrepancy. 


GUIDE    TO    CATALOGUING   PERIODICALS  7 

Statement  of  volumes  in  open  entries :  When  the  periodical  to  be 
catalogued  is  current,  give  first  volume  number  and  date  in  ink 
on  main  card,  e.  g. 

v.  1-          Oct.  12,  1906- 

v.  1-  May  1881- 

v.  1-5,  May  1891-Apr.  1895 ;  new  ser.,  v.  1-         May  1896- 

The  last  volume  number  and  date  should  be  noted  in  pencil. 
The  card  should  be  stamped  "In  progress.  Additions  on  shelflist." 

A  similar  entry  may  be  made  for  a  periodical  which  has  ceased 
publication,  but  of  which  the  Library  possesses  only  a  partial  set. 
In  this  case  the  card  should  be  stamped  "Incomplete.  Additions  on 
shelflist." 

If  Library  lacks  the  first  volume  of  a  set,  or  if  the  statement 
of  volumes  is  complicated,  a  "Library  has"  card  may  be  used,  and 
space  left  on  main  card. 

See  also  under  headings  Open  entries,  "Library  has"  cards,  and 
Serial  record. 

5.  IMPRINT 

Include  in  the  imprint  place  of  publication,  name  of  publisher, 
and  inclusive  dates  of  publication,  e.  g. 

Chicago,  C.  H.  Card,  1901-05. 

Variations  in  place  of  publication  and  publishers:  When  varia- 
tions are  unimportant,  give  in  imprint  the  first*  place  and  pub- 
lisher, e.  g. 

Philadelphia  [etc.]  J.  W.  Scott,  1880-81. 

Allentown,  Davis  &  Selden  [etc.]  1852-65. 

Boston,  Armstrong  and  Lewis ;  [etc.,  etc.]  1897-1900. 

When  variations  are  important,  include  them  in  imprint,  unless 
statement  is  too  complicated,  e.  g. 

Chicago,  L.  W.  Brown,  1857-63;  Springfield,  111.,  J.  Jackson  co., 

1864-69. 
Boston,  J.  R.  Scott;  [etc.,  etc.]  1881-85;  New  York,  Brown  &

Boston  [etc.]  Little  &  co.,  1889-92;  Hartford,  J.  W.  Copeland, 

1893-1906. 

When  it  seems  desirable  to  specify  variations  and  they  cannot 
conveniently  be  included  in  imprint,  use  note  similar  to  following : 

Vol.  3  was  published  in  Springfield,  Mass. 

Vols.  2-5  were  published  in  Lexington,  Ky.,  by  R.  W.  Bentley. 

For  a  more  detailed  form  of  note  see  "Imprint  varies"  note. 
6.  COLLATION 

Volumes :  Give  the  number  of  volumes,  e.  g. 
6  v.  (or  "6  v.  in  9"  for  6  volumes  bound  in  9) 


*An  exception  may  be  made  when  the  periodical  has  been  published  for 
a  much  longer  time  in  some  other  place.  Such  changes  are  most  apt  to 
occur  in  the  earliest  and  last  stages  of  a  periodical. 


8  GUIDE    TO    CATALOGUING   PEKIODICALS 

If  there  is  only  one  volume  give  paging. 

See  also  under  heading  "Periodicals  complete  in  one  volume." 

Illustrations:  Give  illustrations  in  the  following  order:  illus., 
plates,  photos.,  ports.,  maps,  plans,  facsims.,  tables,  diagrs.  Fron- 
tispieces are  not  ordinarily  separately  noted,  but  are  included  in 
plates,  exception  being  made  for  works  complete  in  one  volume, 
gift-books,  rare  works,  etc.  Colored  plates  are  noted,  but  it  is 
not  usually  necessary  to  specify  that  plates  are  folded. 

Size:  Give  height  of  volumes  in  centimeters.  When  volumes 
differ  in  height,  give  inclusive  sizes,  e.  g. 

26-28cra. 

If,  however,  there  is  but  one  variation  in  size,  statement  may  be 
given  as  follows : 

23icm  (v.  2-4:  30cm) 

26cm(v.  9:20cm) 

25cra  (v.  1,  no.  1-3:  14cm; 

7.  FREQUENCY  OF  PUBLICATION 

Unless  expressed  in  title  of  periodical,  frequency  of  publication 
is  to  be  given  after  collation.  When  statement  consists  of  a  sin- 
gle item,  or  is  brief,  it  is  placed  one  centimeter  to  the  right  of 
size  and  is  not  capitalized,  e.  g. 


23 cm  weekly. 

25cm  monthly  (v.  1-2:  quarterly) 

19em  irregular. 

28cm  annual. 

20em  monthly  (irregular) 

24cm  monthly  (except  July  and  August) 


When  statement  consists  of  two  or  more  items,  it  is  given  as  a 
paragraphed  note,  e.  g. 

Weekly,  1883-86;  monthly,  1887-89. 

Weekly,  1887-92;  irregular,  1893-97;  monthly,  1898-1906. 

Months  need  not  be  specified  when  change  occurs  at  end  of 
calendar  year. 

8.  "TITLE  VARIES"  NOTE 

Under   the   caption    "Title   varies"   are   given    the    important 
changes  of  title  of  a  periodical,  e.  g. 

Title  varies :  Jan.  1831-Oct.  1834,  The  Biblical  repository. 
Jan.    1835-Oct.    1836,    The    Quarterly   observer    and    Biblical 

repository. 

Jan.  1837-May  1838,  The  American  Biblical  repository. 
Title  varies:   June   1880-Apr.   1881,   The   Harvard   register;   a 
monthly  periodical  devoted  to  the  interests  of  higher  edu- 
cation.    (Subtitle  varies  slightly) 

June   1881-May  1884,  The  Harvard   review  and   educational 
journal. 

When  desirable,  volume  numbers  may  replace  dates  in  "Title 
varies"  note,  or  both  may  be  included,  e.  g. 

Title  varies:  v.  1-3  (1875-79)  Vermont  historical  gazetteer. 


GUIDE    TO    CATALOGUING   PEKIODICALS  9 

If  changes  of  title,  editor,  and  imprint  occur  simultaneously, 
the  same  note  may  include  all  these  items,  c.  g. 

Title  and  imprint  vary:  May  1892-Apr.  1907,  The  Illustrated 
magazine  of  art,  ed.  by  Moses  King  and  Henry  E.  Butler. 
New  York,  Davis  &  Atwood. 

May  1907-Oct.  1910,  The  Magazine  of  art,  architecture  and 
sculpture.  Thomas  Edwin  Brown,  editor.  Boston,  Carey 
and  Mason  co. 

The  "Title  varies"  note  is  printed  with  hanging  indention,  and 
the  dates  (after  the  first  group)  begin  a  new  line  in  each  case. 

When  the  changes  in  title  of  a  periodical  are  not  considered  of 
sufficient  importance  for  a  detailed  statement,  the  note  "Title 
varies,"  or  "Title  varies  slightly,"  will  suffice,  without  specifica- 
tion of  changes. 

9.  EDITOR  NOTE 

Unless  included  in  title,  editors  may  be  given  in  following  form 
of  note : 

Editors :  May  1892-June  1897,  Karl  Vollmeyer,  Ernst  Schmidt.— 
July  1897-Oct.  10,  1908,  H.  L.  Meyer.— Oct.  17,  1908-Dec.  1910,

The  editor  note  is  printed  with  hanging  indention. 

Ordinarily  the  forename  of  editor  is  given  in  full  when  there 
is  only  one;  initials  are  used  when  there  are  two  or  more  fore- 
names. Exception  is  sometimes  made  for  foreign  names.  When 
editor  is  a  woman,  the  first  forename  is  always  given  in  full. 

When  a  periodical  has  ceased  publication  and  the  same  editor 
or  editors  have  continued  throughout,  use  form  of  note  similar 
to  following  (unless  statement  of  editors  is  included  in  title)  : 

E.  J.  Butler,  editor. 
Thomas  Bartlett  and  others,  editors. 
W.  E.  Babbitt  and  Frank  Jefferson,  editors. 
Edited  by  Esther  Patterson  and  Mary  E.  Willis  for  the  Institute 
of  pharmacy. 

In  trade  periodicals,  and  in  some  of  the  less  important  literary 
periodicals,  etc.,  names  of  editors  need  be  given  only  when  easily 
ascertainable,  and  when  changes  are  not  frequent ;  or,  in  the  case 
of  trade  periodicals,  when  the  editor  is  a  prominent  authority  on 
the  subject. 

Ordinarily  each  editor  mentioned  in  title  or  note  should  have 
added  entry.  The  added  entries  may  sometimes  be  omitted,  how- 
ever, for  trade  periodicals,  etc.,  even  when  editors  are  noted  on 
face  of  card.  Judgment  should  be  used.

The  "Library  has"  card  is  not  to  be  numbered. 

Stamps:  The  stamps  "In  progress.  Additions  on  shelflist"  or 
"Incomplete.  Additions  on  shelflist"  are  used  on  open  entry  cards 
for  publications  in  which  additional  volumes  are  to  be  recorded 
only  on  serial  record.  The  stamp  "Refer  to  cataloguer"  means 
that  any  additional  volume  of  the  publication  received  in  the 
Library  is  to  be  sent  to  the  cataloguer  of  periodicals  and  not  added 
to  the  serial  record.  It  is  used  for  sets  nearly  complete  at  the 
time  entry  is  made,  for  old  or  rare  publications,  etc.  There  are  a 
few  current  periodicals  for  which  the  cards  are  stamped  "Add 
to  cards."  In  these  cases  each  additional  volume  received  in 
Library  is  recorded  on  catalogue  cards  as  well  as  added  to  serial 
record. 

16.   INDEXES 

An  index  to  a  periodical,  when  separately  published,  is  to  be 
added  to  main  entry  with  dash,  e.  g. 

The  Ohio  journal  of  education,     v.  1-5;  Mar.  1891-Feb.  1895. 

Cincinnati,  Hall  &  Brown,  1891-95. 

5  v.    illus.    24cm.    monthly. 
Index  to  volumes  i  to  in  ...    Comp.  by  Henry  R.  Davis. 

Cincinnati,  Hall  &  Brown,  1897. 

v,  121  p.    24cm. 


*Space  (blank  lines)  may  be  left  open  for  noting  later  additions  of  miss- 
ing volumes.  Ordinarily  these  are  added  on  serial  record  only,  but  it  may 
be  advisable  to  consolidate  the  statement  on  the  "Library  has"  card  from 
time  to  time,  when  several  gaps  have  been  filled,  cf.  section  24  (Serial 
record) 


GUIDE   TO    CATALOGUING   PERIODICALS  13 

Title,  pagination,  etc.,  are  to  be  given  as  for  an  ordinary  book. 
The  word  volumes  is  written  in  full  unless  abbreviated  on  title- 
page,  and  roman  numerals  are  not  changed  to  arabic.  An  added 
entry  is  made  for  compiler  of  index. 

Separate  entry  for  indexes :  An  index  to  a  periodical  in  progress, 
received  after  main  entry  has  been  printed,  is  to  be  entered  in  the 
following  form : 

The  Ohio  journal  of  education.     (Indexes) 

Index  to  volumes  i  to  in  ...    Comp.  by  Henry  R.  Davis.    Cin- 
cinnati, Hall  &  Brown,  1897. 

v,  121  p.    24cm. 

The  form  heading  Indexes  is  to  be  given  on  back  of  card,  but 
heading  is  not  printed.  Subject  entries  may  be  indicated  when 
needed.  The  same  "printer's  serial  number"  is  to  be  given  on  card 
for  index  as  on  main  entry  card,  but  to  the  number  is  to  be  affixed 
the  symbol  x1,  x2,  x3  (meaning  first,  second,  third,  etc.,  index 
card)  as  the  case  may  be.  When  the  publication  is  discontinued 
and  the  main  entry  closed,  or  when  for  any  other  reason  the  main 
entry  is  reprinted,  the  card  or  cards  for  the  indexes  may  be  re- 
printed in  the  usual  form  as  part  of  the  entry.  The  rule  for  sepa- 
rate entry  of  indexes  applies  also  to  indexes  received  before  the 
periodical  itself  is  in  the  Library. 

An  index  included  in  the  paging,  or  forming  one  of  the  regu- 
larly numbered  volumes  of  a  periodical  need  not  have  separate 
entry.*  It  should  be  noted  on  main  entry,  however,  e.  g. 

"Index  to  the  first  ten  volumes,  comp.  by  Benjamin  Alcott": 

v.  11,  p.  [91]-225. 
"Index  to  v.  61-97,  comp.  by  G.  C.  Adams":  v.  100,  p.  [l]-25, 

53-90. 
Vol.  20,  published  in  1891,  forms  index  to  v.  1-19. 

17.  ADDED  ENTRIES 

Form  headings:  Each  entry  for  a  periodical  has  added  entry 
under  form  heading  Periodicals,  followed  by  penciled  word 
(titles)  For  periodicals  which  are  merely  the  organs  of  societies 
the  added  form  heading  Societies  may  be  given.  The  form  head- 
ings are  not  printed  and  are  filed  in  public  catalogue  only. 

Subject  entries:  Subject  entries  are  added  for  all  periodicals  in 
the  new  classification  which  require  such  entry,  e.  g. 

Military  art  and  science — Period. 
U.  S.— Hist.— Period. 
Botany — Period. 

The  subdivision  Periodicals  is  ordinarily  used  under  general 
subjects  only,  not  under  the  local  subdivisions,  e.  g. 

Agriculture — Period,  (not  Agriculture — France — Period.) 
Botany — Period,  (not  Botany — U.  S. — Period.) 


*Separate  (analytical)  entry  may  be  made  also  when  an  index  for  a 
series  of  volumes  is  thought  of  sufficient  importance,  though  forming  part 
of  a  volume  and  without  separate  title-page  and  paging. 


14  GUIDE    TO    CATALOGUING   PERIODICALS 

References  should  be  made  when  necessary  from  local  subdi- 
visions, c.  g. 

Agriculture — France — Period.    See  Agriculture — Period. 
Botany — U.  S. — Period.    See  Botany — Period. 

When  the  local  interest  of  a  periodical  is  especially  important, 
a  duplicate  entry  may  be  made,  e.  g. 

Agriculture — Period. 
Agriculture — Hawaiian  Islands. 

Editors,  compilers,  etc. :  An  added  entry  is  ordinarily  given  for 
each  editor  (cf.  Editor  note)  ;  compiler  of  an  index;  society  or 
other  body  of  which  the  periodical  is  an  organ ;  and  for  each 
important  earlier  title  of  periodical.  Cross  references  suffice  for 
the  less  important  titles. 

The  editors  precede  the  other  added  entries  in  order;  the  titles 
are  given  last. 

The  name  of  each  editor  is  followed  by  the  abbreviation  ed. 
(not  joint  ed.) 

18.  OPEN  ENTRIES 

An  open  entry  is  an  entry  for  a  periodical  incomplete  at  the 
time  of  being  catalogued. 

When  the  first  volume  is  in  the  Library  it  is  entered  on  card, 
with  date  of  publication  of  first  number.  Space  is  left  for  the 
insertion  in  pencil  of  later  volumes,  dates,  etc.,  e.  g. 

The  Agricultural  record,    v.  1-        May  1896- 

Chicago,  Young  &  Brown,  1896- 

v.    illus.    27cm.

Stamp:  In  progress.    Additions  on  shelflist. 

When  the  first  volume  is  not  in  the  Library,  volume  numbers 
and  dates  are  not  ordinarily  printed  on  card,  e.  g. 

Current  anecdotes ;  a  preachers'  magazine. 

Cleveland  [etc.]  Current  anecdotes  co.,  18 

v.    24cm.    monthly. 
Stamp:  Incomplete.    Additions  on  shelflist. 

If  the  periodical  changes  its  title  after  the  entry  is  printed,  the 
entry  should  be  reprinted  under  new  title,  with  old  title  given  as 
an  added  entry,  c.  g. 

Automobile   review,     v.    1-10,   Jan.    1901-Apr.    1907;    new    sen, 
v.  1-        May  1907-

Stamp:  In  progress.    Additions  on  shelflist. 
Added  entries:   Periodicals    (titles)       1.   Automobiles  —  Period. 


GUIDE    TO    CATALOGUING   PERIODICALS  15 

The  cataloguer  should  remove  from  the  second  official  and 
public  catalogues  all  cards  under  the  earlier  title. 

A  serial  record  card  is  made  for  each  open  entry,  on  which  all 
additional  volumes  received  are  recorded.  When  the  periodical 
ceases  publication,  the  open  entry  should  be  reprinted  in  closed 
form. 

See  also  under  headings  Statement  of  volumes  and  Serial  record. 
For  note  on  use  of  stamps  sec  section  15  ("Library  has"  card) 

19.  vSUPPLEMENTS 

Enter  a  monograph  issued  as  a  supplement  to  a  periodical  under

jahrg.  7,  hit.  4.    Beilage) 

Added  entries:  1.  Folk-songs,  German.  i.  Deutsche  zeit-  und 
streit-fragen.  Supplement. 

Monographs  forming  regularly  numbered  supplements  to  peri- 
odicals follow  the  same  rule  in  regard  to  author  entry.  In  place 
of  added  entry  on  author  card,  however,  the  supplements  are 
added  to  periodical  entry  card  with  clash,  or  a  series  entry  is  made 
under  name  of  periodical,  e.  g. 

Zentralblatt  fur  biblipthekswesen. 

Beihefte  ...     Leipzig,  O.  Harrassowitz,  1888- 
v.    illus.    24icm.

hft.  2.  Die  Reichenauer  sangerschule ;  von  W.  Brambach. 
1888. 

Supplements  which  are  not  monographs  are  frequently  ac- 
counted for  sufficiently  by  a  note  on  periodical  entry  card  in  place 
of  separate  entry,  c.  g. 

"Armorial  general  de  France.    Table  des  noms  inscrits  dans  ce 

recueil"  issued  as  special  supplement  with  v.  9-14  ( 1863-69)

Vols.  12-15  include  the  weekly  supplement  "News  from  the  field" 

(separately  paged  in  v.  12-14) 
See  also  under  heading  Special  numbers. 

20.  SPECIAL  NUMBERS 

A  special  number  of  a  newspaper  or  periodical,  separately  clas- 
sified, or  a  special  number  received  when  the  periodical  itself  is 
not  in  the  Library,  may  be  entered  as  follows : 

The  Springfield  daily  times. 

...  The  village  of  Holyoke,  Massachusetts,  1794-1894.    Indus- 
trial, professional,  literary  Holyoke.    Springfield,  1894. 

cover-title,  29  p.    illus.    32cm. 

Issued  as  a  special  number  of  the  Springfield  daily  times,  Nov. 
5,  1894. 
Added  entry:  1.  Holyoke,  Mass. 

Special  numbers  are  frequently  issued  without  title-page.  Give 
preference  in  this  case  to  cover-title,  unless  caption  title  is  much 
fuller  or  more  distinctive. 

A  special  number  of  a  periodical  when  included  in  one  of  the 
volumes  does  not  ordinarily  require  separate  entry.  It  may  be 
disregarded  altogether,  or  a  note  may  be  given  on  main  card,  e.  g. 

Vol.  1  includes  special  number,  issued  May  6,  1891. 
Vol.  5  includes  special  number,  issued  July  11,  1903,  and  sepa- 
rately paged. 
Vols.  9  and  12  include  special  numbers. 

For  monographs  issued  as  special  numbers  see  under  heading 
Supplements. 

21.  DETACHED  COPIES 

An  article  detached  from  a  periodical  may  be  classified  sepa- 
rately by  subject.  It  should  be  catalogued  as  follows:  make 
analytical  entry  for  article  in  original  volume,  if  in  Library,  and 
add  detached  copy  as  copy  2,  followed  by  word  "detached/'  e.  g. 

Standing,  Percy  Cross,  1870- 

The  boarding-officer  of  the  Alabama.     (In  The  Cornhill  maga- 
zine.   London,  1897.    23cra.    new  sen,  v.  2,  p.  C591]-603)    AP4.C8 
—  Copy  2,  detached.  E599.A3S8 

If  Library  does  not  possess  original,  catalogue  detached  copy 
as  original,  and  add  note :  A  detached  copy. 

22.  EXTRACTS  FROM  PERIODICALS 

Enter  a  collection  of  extracts  from  a  periodical  under  the  name 
of  the  periodical,  provided  this  appears  in  the  title  of  the  collec- 
tion. Make  added  entries  under  the  title  of  the  collection  and 
the  name  of  the  collector,  if  given,  e.  g. 

Blackwood's  Edinburgh  magazine. 

Tales  from  "Blackwood."    Edinburgh  and  London,  W.  Black- 
wood  &  sons  [1858-61] 

12  v.     16JC1".

Added  entry:  i.  Title. 

If  the  periodical  is  not  named  in  the  title  enter  under  title,  or 
under  collector  if  given.  Give  the  name  of  the  periodical  in  a 
note,  and  make  added  entry  under  it,  e.  g. 

My  aunt's  match  making,  and  other  stories  by  popular  authors. 
New  York,  Cassell  &  co.,  1888. 
212  p.    19cm. 

Running  title :  Stories  from  Cassell's. 
Added  entry:  i.  Cassell's  magazine. 

The  work  of  a  single  author  republished  from  a  periodical  does 
not  ordinarily  require  an  added  entry  under  the  name  of  the 
periodical. 

23.  PERIODICALS  COMPLETE  IN  ONE  VOLUME 

When  a  periodical  is  complete  in  one  volume,  collation  is  to 
be  given  as  for  an  ordinary  book,  if  the  paging  is  not  compli- 
cated, e.  g. 

The  Common  school  journal  of  the  state  of  Pennsylvania,    v.  1 ; 
Jan.-Dec.  1844.    Philadelphia,  E.  C.  Biddle ;  tetc.,  etc.]  1844. 
viii,  376  p.    illus.    23cm.    monthly. 
No  more  published. 

When  the  paging  is  divided  into  several  groups,  or  is  otherwise 
complicated,  give  "1  v."  in  place  of  paging,  e.  g. 

The  Belgian  hare  news ;  a  monthly  for  the  Belgian  hare.    v.  1 ; 
Jan.-Dec.  1901.    Chicago,  C.  H.  Card,  1901. 
1  v.  (variously  paged)    23CI". 
No  more  published. 

24.  SERIAL  RECORD 

Serial  record  cards  are  to  be  made  in  following  form  for  cur- 
rent or  incomplete  periodicals : 

Darkest  Russia 
Library  has 

v.  1-2        1903-04       2  v. 
Stamp:  In  progress  (or  Incomplete) 

On  back  of  card  give  place,  inclusive  dates,  number  of  volumes, 
and  size,  c.  g. 

New  York,  1903-04.    2  v.    25cm. 

The  words  Serial  record  should  be  written  or  stamped  on  back  of 
each  main  entry  card  for  which  a  serial  record  card  is  made.  The 
additional  volumes  received  in  Library  are  added  to  serial  record 
card  and  not  to  catalogue  card  (cf.  section  15,  "Library  has" 
card)  When  an  open  entry  is  reprinted  in  closed  form,  notifica- 
tion should  be  sent  to  person  in  charge  of  serial  record. 


18  GUIDE    TO    CATALOGUING   PERIODICALS 

Serial  record  cards  for  the  classes  Law  and  Music  are  excep- 
tions to  the  general  rule.     For  these  classes  give  only  title  of 
periodical,  place  of  publication,  and  usual  stamp,  e.  g. 

The  Law  review.    New  York. 
Stamp:  In  progress   (or  Incomplete) 

25.   RUSH   REPRINTS 

When  an  entry  is  to  be  reprinted  for  stock  as  a  "rush  reprint," 
volumes  received  in  Library  since  the  entry  was  printed  should 
be  examined  and  added  to  cards,  and  statements  in  regard  to 
latest  title,  editors,  etc.,  brought  up  to  date.  The  entry  may  need 
further  revision  to  be  sure  that  forms  are  according  to  present 
usage,  etc.  Consult  the  serial  record  and  public  catalogue  cards 
for  additional  information.  The  date  when  the  entry  was  revised 
and  reprinted  should  be  added  on  back  of  card. 

26.  PRINTER'S  SERIAL  NUMBERS 

Each  printed  entry  bears  a  serial  number  on  the  lower  right- 
hand  corner.  When  an  entry  is  reprinted  under  a  later  title,  the 
printer's  serial  number  should  be  transferred  to  the  new  entry. 
A  new  entry  which  includes  two  or  more  earlier  titles  should  take 
the  serial  number  of  one  of  them,  and  the  Card  division  should  be 
notified,  on  form  provided,  of  discarded  number  or  numbers. 

When  an  open  entry  printed  in  the  "CA  unrevised"  series  is  re- 
printed as  a  closed  entry,  it  should  be  transferred  to  the  regular 
L.  C.  series.  A  notice  of  transfer  should  be  sent  to  the  Card 
division  on  form  provided  for  this  purpose. 

The  cataloguer  should  remove  all  cards  from  the  second  official 
and  public  catalogues  for  each  entry  to  be  reprinted  under  later 
title,  and  for  each  entry  transferred  from  "CA  unrevised"  series 
to  regular  series. 

27.  CATALOGUER'S  REFERENCE  LIST  OF  ENTRIES 

A  brief  entry  should  be  made  on  slip  for  each  new  set  cata- 
logued, including  title,  short  statement  of  volumes,  place  of  pub- 
lication, dates,  class-mark,  initials  of  cataloguer,  date  of  cata- 
loguing, and,  for  open  entries,  the  stamp  "In  progress,"  "Incom- 
plete," or  "Refer  to  cataloguer."  This  slip  is  held  till  a  printed 
copy  of  catalogue  card  is  received,  when  additional  information 
on  slip  is  transferred  to  card.  The  cards  are  kept  on  file  in  case 
on  cataloguer's  desk.  They  are  used  for  reference  only,  and  infor- 
mation on  them  is  not  kept  up  to  date. 

28.  METHOD  OF  PROCEDURE 

When  volumes  of  a  periodical  are  received  for  cataloguing,  the 
cataloguer  should  consult  the  cataloguer's  reference  list.  If  an 
entry  for  the  publication  is  found  there  stamped  "In  progress"  or 
"Incomplete,"  the  volumes  should  be  sent  to  the  person  in  charge 
of  the  serial  record.  An  entry  stamped  "Add  to  cards"  indicates 
that  the  volumes  received  are  to  be  added  to  cards  in  the  public 


GUIDE    TO    CATALOGUING   PERIODICALS  19 

catalogue  before  they  are  sent  for  addition  to  serial  record.  If 
an  entry  is  found  stamped  "Refer  to  cataloguer,"  the  cataloguer 
should  consult  the  original  catalogue  card,  where  the  method  of 
procedure  will  be  indicated. 

When  no  entry  is  found  in  the  reference  list,  the  cataloguer 
should  consult  the  public  and  second  official  catalogues.  An  im- 
printed entry  for  a  publication  found  in  either  of  these  catalogues 
may,  if  practicable,  be  withdrawn,  revised,  and  printed.  Care 
should  be  taken  to  withdraw  all  cards  belonging  to  a  publica- 
tion, including  editor  cards,  compilers,  etc.  If  accession  numbers 
are  given  on  back  of  old  main  entry  card,  they  should  be  trans- 
ferred to  new  entry.  Works  published  before  1900,  for  which  no 
entry  is  found  in  either  the  public  or  second  official  catalogues, 
should  be  searched  in  the  first  official  (old)  catalogue.  Entries 
found  in  this  catalogue  should  always  be  withdrawn  and  revised. 

When  no  entry  for  publication  is  found  in  any  catalogue,  an 
entry  should  be  made.  The  cataloguer  should  be  sure  that  not 
only  the  volumes  in  hand  are  catalogued,  but  that  all  other  vol- 
umes in  the  Library  belonging  to  the  publication  are  collected  and 
catalogued.  For  additional  information  it  may  frequently  be  nec- 
essary to  consult  the  Periodical  division  records  (in  Periodical 
reading  room  and  office),  the  Smithsonian  division  record,  the 
order  cards,  the  serial  record,  or  the  shelflist.  Unbound  numbers 
of  periodicals  are  kept  on  deck  32  (except  for  publications  clas- 
sified in  AP)  or  in  Smithsonian  division.  These  unbound  num- 
bers are  not  ordinarily  to  be  entered  on  catalogue  cards. 

When  a  truck  load  of  books  has  been  catalogued  and  revised, 
the  truck  is  forwarded  to  the  Classification  division,  where  the 
volumes  are  classified  and  shelflisted.  After  shelflisting,  the  cards 
are  returned  to  the  cataloguer  or  reviser,  and  later  sent  to  the 
Periodical  division  for  reference.  When  returned,  they  are  for- 
warded for  printing,  or,  if  not  ready  to  print,  are  sent  direct  to 
catalogue. 

A  cataloguer  of  periodicals  should  strive,  above  all  else,  for 
accuracy.  There  are  many  details  to  consider  in  a  long  or  com- 
plicated publication,  indeed,  in  almost  any  periodical  entry,  and 
clear  and  accurate  statements  will  prevent  much  confusion.  It 
has  been  found  useful  to  keep  for  ready  reference  a  list  of  items 
to  be  noted  for  each  catalogue  entry.  A  tentative  list  is  given 
below,  which  may  be  revised  to  suit  individual  requirements: 

Entry  initialed  and  dated
